George Tidy (born 28 July 1930 in Edinburgh) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper during the 1950s.

Although he initially started as a centre-half with Royston Rosebery in 1946, he played in goal shortly before being transferred to Edinburgh City during the 1949-50 season. He joined Dunfermline Athletic at the start of the 1951-52 season, who at the time were in the Scottish Football League "B" Division. He made eleven first-team appearances; 9 in the league and 2 in the Supplementary Cup before moving on to Brechin City FC at the start of the 1952-53 season.

George was part of the Brechin City team which won the Scottish Football League "C" Division Championship title in the 1953-54 season and was the youngest member of the team. He was the only member of the Brechin City team to play in all 42 games during the 1952-53 season and all 40 games during the Championship winning season of 1953-54. He was freed at the end of the 1954-55 season and joined junior side Arniston Rangers FC in June 1956. But he returned to Senior football with Berwick Rangers FC in October 1956 making 13 league appearances and 2 in the Scottish Cup before leaving Senior football in August 1957. He then returned to the Junior ranks to complete his playing career with Peebles Rovers FC.
